Two Wednesdays ago we got a late start to our morning but our intentions were solid. We were going to visit Brooklyn. ¶ We had a few reasons to visit Brooklyn and one of them was simply to visit. We took the L train to Metropolitan. When we got to street level I was immediately reminded of the North End of Halifax. It has that distinctive wood panelling, low-rise, eastern-seaboard feel. I'm working on an illustration for an upcoming business in Brooklyn, and so we were also there to see the location. We bumped into my client and we chatted a little about the business and Williamsburg. After that we wandered over to Bedford Ave, I grabbed a midday pint and cheeseburger, and then we explored some more. ¶ I stopped into Spoonbill & Sugartown Booksellers (218 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY) and was tempted by many things. I ended up purchasing a postcard upon which I based this photo and an audio CD by David Lynch and Penguin Audio: Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity which is VERY good and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their lives vis. being able to do more of what you love in this life. ¶ In January I recorded myself draw a portrait of David Lynch. I'm very happy with the way these time-lapse animations are working out and intend to do more in this vein. ¶ I've temporarily removed The Art Game from the main navigation until I figure out the role of Art on Siteway. Until then, I've linked it to my photostream on flickr which is not only where friends and family can catch up on photos but also where I upload some of my illustrations.
